Limit Posts

FAQ

I’ve found a bug, what do I do?

Click on the View support forum button on the right.

What happens when a limit is reached?

A message will be displayed, informing the user that the limit has been reached. The publish section will not be displayed, so the user will not be able to attempt to publish a post.

How can I use the shortcode?

To use the limit rules functionality on your own forms you’ll need to add a shortcode to your page:

[limit_posts] your form code [/limit_posts]

The following parameters can be used with the shortcode:

type - this is the post type that the form is dealing with.
    Values for this can be any post type or custom post type, that you currently have.
    Default is post.
action - this is the action which the form submit will take.
    Values for this can be publish (where submit will publish) and submit for review (where submit will submit for review).
    Default is publish

Example:

‘[limit_posts type=»post» action=»publish»] your form code [/limit_posts]’

Are there any filter hooks?

‘limit_posts_shortcode_ok’ – when a user can see the form.
‘limit_posts_shortcode_limit_exceeded’ – when the user limit is reached.
‘limit_posts_shortcode_not_logged_in’ – when user is not logged in.

Can I limit total publications for a particular post type?

Yes, simply create a rule as you normally would, but set the Category to ALL. So all users, whatever category they are in, will be checked against this rule.
